About

Daily switch: in calm markets hold 55% UPRO/TQQQ (vol-weighted) + 45% TMF; in bear markets sit in BIL and only buy 5-day dips in QQQ/SPY via TQQQ/UPRO—skip if today jumped >5%. Tickers: UPRO=3x S&P, TQQQ=3x Nasdaq, TMF=3x long Treasuries, BIL=T-Bills.
NutHow it works
Daily: If the S&P 500 has been down >10% over the last year, sit in cash (BIL) and only buy fast 5-day dips: TQQQ for a Nasdaq dip or UPRO for an S&P dip—skip if today already jumped >5%. If not in a bear, hold 55% UPRO/TQQQ (vol-weighted) + 45% TMF; move to cash if a fresh 10-day slide >5% appears.
CheckmarkValue prop
Regime-switching, dip-buying strategy: cash in bear markets, leveraged stock/bond barbell in calm markets for risk control and diversification. Out-of-sample: ~4% annualized vs SPY ~20%; drawdowns ~36% vs ~19%—a disciplined, risk-managed approach.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
